Euro MP denial on £36k con
A BRITISH Euro MP yesterday denied fiddling thousands in taxpayer-
funded expenses.
Accused Tom Wise, 60, appeared in court on charges of money
laundering and false accounting.
Wise, a Member of the European Parliament since 2004, is said to have
pocketed £36,000 he claimed for a researcher.
The former UKIP member, now an independent MEP for the East of
England, allegedly bought a car and fine wines.
Wise, of Leighton Buzzard, Beds, spoke only to confirm his name and
address and plead not guilty at London's City of Westminster
Magistrates Court.
His assistant Lindsay Jenkins, 62, of Fulham, West London, denied the
same charges. Both were bailed until June.
